A proton can be written as p, p+, or by its quantum numbers: 1/2(1/2)+, corresponding to spin(isospin)parity.
It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.
Alpha particles have the least penetrating power compared to gamma rays and beta particles. This is because alpha particles are heavier and more positively charged, which makes them easily absorbed by materials, including skin.
The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an electromagnetic wave that transmits energy.
A gamma particle is a high-energy photon emitted as a result of radioactive decay. Gamma particles have no mass or charge, allowing them to penetrate deeply into materials and tissues. They are commonly used in various applications such as gamma imaging in medicine and industry.
A beta particle with low energy or a gamma ray with low energy might not be able to penetrate paper as paper can act as a barrier to these types of particles.
The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an EM wave that transmits energy.
The correct order is c) Alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray. Alpha particles have the greatest mass, followed by beta particles, and then gamma rays which have no mass.
Gamma Ray
a. an alpha particle
no, it is an alpha particle.
The discovery of Compton scattering is the phenomenon where incoming gamma rays collide with electrons, resulting in a shift in the gamma ray's wavelength. This discovery helped confirm the wave-particle duality of light and demonstrated the particle nature of light.
True. A gamma ray is a high-energy photon, and thus moves at the speed of light. And, like all photons, it has no charge.
It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.
Sort of. A gamma ray is a photon, which is a particle/wave moving at the speed of light, because it is light.Photons are the gauge particles for the electromagnetic force, but they don't carry an electric charge themselves.
No, a gamma ray is a massless particle with no rest mass, whereas an electron has a measurable mass.
Alpha particles have the least penetrating power compared to gamma rays and beta particles. This is because alpha particles are heavier and more positively charged, which makes them easily absorbed by materials, including skin.
The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an electromagnetic wave that transmits energy.
